Port City Colombo has won “Best Knowledge Zone – Asia-Pacific” and a commendation for sustainability in the Global Free Zones of the Year 2025 rankings by fDi Intelligence, the international investment magazine of the Financial Times.
The recognition underlines Port City’s position as South Asia’s leading special economic zone and an international hub for knowledge-based industries.
The award reflects the zone’s progressive regulatory framework, which gives investors a competitive environment and a range of economic incentives, together with advanced dispute-resolution services that strengthen investor confidence. The sustainability commendation recognises its commitment to responsible urban development, including green planning, energy efficiency and coastal resilience.
According to Xiong Hongfeng, CEO of CHEC Port City Colombo, the recognition reflects the project’s commitment to building an international business hub and a model for innovative, sustainable development in South Asia.

Travel & visas
Ten days is enough for a balanced route from Colombo to Kandy and tea country, then a safari and a finish on the south coast. Seven days means a conscious cut — usually fewer beach days or skipping a region — and should be built around the season, not as a race between sights.

There is no single “best” month for the whole island. December–March is especially comfortable for the south and west coasts; July–September suits the east coast and safari. October is usually the least settled month. Build the route around the region, not only the departure date from Israel.

A business visit to Colombo can grow into a few tour days — Sigiriya and Kandy, tea country, or the south coast — without turning the whole week into back-to-back meetings. Keep a recovery day after the flight, cluster meetings in Colombo or Port City, and plan the touring days in a single stretch, matched to the season.
